The Florida Panthers ended a painful seven-game losing streak with a stifling 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in their first game back at the BB&T Center after a five-game road trip.
Vincent Trocheck returned to action after missing 27 games with a broken ankle and set up Mike Matheson’s go-ahead goal with 5:01 remaining in the first period.
Trocheck logged 18:12 of ice time in his first game back and registered three shots on goal, dished out a game-high 7 hits, blocked a shot and finished with a +2 rating.
